Theres some other article out there that states not only did she hit him with the luggage after repeatedly ignoring him , she also became belligerent and verbally abusive, cursing at him and slandering his lifestyle.
Sounds to me like she'd be in for assault at least, but where was the air marshall to assist with this incident? If someone is getting loud and obnoxious and wont follow airline instructions, arent they sposed to be around? Other folks have been tazed for much less.
They were reading the article this morning accompanied by Indiana Jones theme music. I feel bad for the guy, but at least he did it in style.
